“You could make the argument that if jazz is on the cusp of a renaissance, Kamasi Washington is its leader.” – Esquire Magazine

A concert with saxophonist Kamasi Washington offers serious jazz chops and a party spirit – see his latest Coachella outing or set at London’s Boiler Room as examples. The Los Angeles native bends sounds and genres while defying constraints and breaking boundaries.

Having collaborated with the contemporary likes of Kendrick Lamar, Flying Lotus and Ryan Adams, Washington blurs the boundaries between the generational divides of jazz, welcoming new and old purveyors alike while paying homage to the artists who paved the way.
